Hit counters rule
So I ran out of internet today and decided to go look at the hitcounter website I used on my last fic and my fanmix. I haven't looked at them in months, so I was really surprised to find... wait for it...
4014 pageviews for Asymptote, and 921 for my fanmix! Considering that they have 113 and 39 comments on each respectively, and that roughly one third to a half of those will be my replies to comments, that's astounding!
Now, don't get me wrong - I'm really happy just knowing how many people have read it / at least thought about downloading it. I love comments, but having numbers there really fills me with joy. It's interesting as a comparison, though, isn't it? As a statistic of how many people comment versus how many read?
I think I'll go comment on some fic I love right now, actually.
(If anyone is interested, I use Statcounter.com to monitor the number of pageviews. It's free and it's discreet, and it lets me have this gleefulness over my stuff without me having to rely solely on comments.)
Now for the rec!
Clearly very few of you (ie, only ionaonie) love Superman Returns as much as I do, because she is the only one who caressed its special tickybox on my poll. However! Superman Returns is awesome, and I'm sticking to my guns! Not only does it have Brandon Routh (mmm, Brandon Routh!) and a bullet bouncing off Superman's eye while he smirks hotly, but it is also a really great film for me on an emotional level. There is so much going on under the surface of it, which I really felt tapped into watching it even though that is probably why it didn't do so well at the box office.
Anyway, I'm pairing one of the least popular fandoms from my poll with one of the most - Firefly - in one rec! I'm just that damn good.
